(I would just call it NAS but can't saY that around here.) It backs up each time a file is created. I also do a weekly backup to another drive. This one is just my photos. What I have recently started is a online cloud backup using Carbonite. I really do like this solution. First it is off site so no matter what happens here I have that copy off site. The side benefit is that it also creates the BU at the time the file is created or at least in a few minutes. I can also access that backup anywhere I am including my iPhone. handy for when you are out and about and want/need to see a photo you shot last week. I have lost a drive before and lost many files and especially photos that I can not replace. My wife is a teacher and for her school files she uses a little Microsoft tool called SyncToy where you can set up folders to sync one place to another. She backs up her school files and then comes home and syncs them to her laptop. then whatever she works on at home she then runs synctoy and backs up the the usb drive and it goes back to school with her. She also runs synctoy to sync her laptop to our shared desktop that is in turn backed up to the NAS drive and to Carbonite. Her school computer fried and the techs came in and said they would have to replace it and there was no way to save any of the files. They were surprised when she told them that was not a problem. She then told them her backup routine. The said most teachers had no idea what a backup was.</blockquote>
